Manuscript buried in wood somewhere in Cheshire (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wilmslow

'somewhere in cheshire' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'manuscript buried in wood' is the wordplay.
'manuscript' becomes 'ms' (abbreviation for manuscript).
'buried in' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters get buried).
'wood' becomes 'willow' (willow is a type of tree).
'ms' placed into 'willow' is 'WILMSLOW'.

(Another definition for wilmslow that I've seen is " somewhere in Cheshire".)
